Shi Shang Chinese Restaurant in York - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lovely place for family catch up. Food was delicious, staff were excellent, so friendly. Very reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

First meal visit here last night. Lovely food, generous portions, very tasty and very good staff and service

Very nice Chinese meal here with attentive staff and the food was excellent and arrived very quickly.

Wow lovely place, amazing food, and not shy with the portions either, excellent service, helpful and attentive staff, not bad pricing considering we ordered 2 starters, 2 mains, 3 sides, and 2 drinks each all for under £45 each, yep we came out of Shi Shang restaurant in happy agony 👍

Our dining experience at 食尚 Shi Shang Chinese Restaurant was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and attentive service from a highly professional team. Their knowledge and recommendations enhanced our enjoyment of the meal. The authenticity of the cuisine was truly remarkable. Each dish was a flavor-packed journey that transported us to the heart of China. We were particularly impressed by the sizzling beef and fried pork with sweet sauce along with the chilli and salt chicken. The leisurely pace of the evening allowed us to savor every bite and enjoy the company without feeling rushed. We left the restaurant with full and satisfied stomachs, and a wonderful overall impression of the restaurant. Highly recommended!

Food and service was spot on! The food was fresh and authentic. Highly recommend!

Nice restaurant that serves authentic Chinese food. Ordered cold chicken in chilli oil (saliva chicken) and braised pork belly in soy sauce. Both dishes tasted great and had a good portion size. I would go back there again.

food was ok but the portion size for the price of the meal along with the mediocre quality just wasn't worth it.

We were staying nearby and luckily found this great Chinese restaurant. They have a great menu selection from the more traditional Chinese dishes to the more standard options we all know. The food was really good, the staff were friendly and the restaurant is large & airy. Nice ice cream based desserts too. We’ll definitely come back when we return to York.

We had chosen a set menu for two people, and found the food to be excellent. The waitresses were very friendly, and extremely attentive. The only down side was that there was a 12.5% service charge already added to our bill. We prefer to choose the amount of tip ourselves!, Would certainly recommend.

I just keep coming back. The food is so good.

Excellent food and service. Colleagues commented on eating some of the best Chinese food they had eaten. Food was fresh and tasty. Very happy.

Really disappointing takeaway, one of the worst I’ve ever had!! Came quick and was hot which was good, although sign that it was just scraps heated up, which was obvious when opening. The Kung Po chicken was tiny bits of fatty chicken and more peanuts than chicken! The special fried rice was sticky and stuck together. Prawn toast and salt and pepper chicken had a horrible aftertaste (maybe the oil) and was inedible. Only edible item was the duck - which was clearly just heated up and was therefore dry, although had good flavours. Won’t be using again spent £40 on inedible food

We had salt & pepper chicken, crispy shredded sweet & chilli chicken & chicken chow mein. All were hot, fresh & tasty. Would recommend 👌🏻

Discovered this restaurant on our weekend visit. Food is delicious 😋 generous portion sizes., enjoyed it that much we returned following evening. Staff are attentive and polite. Definitely worth a visit!

Lovely food. Salt and pepper chicken was amazing.

After having difficulty finding the restaurant walked for almost an hour(most of it in the wrong direction) anyway once we did were not disappointed. Quick service big portions. Nice friendly staff. My hubby had king prawn and black bean sauce which he said was amazing. I had sweet and sour chicken which I struggled with due to the size of the portions but was so nice I took the remainder home.

Really not impressed. We ordered from here based on many good reviews. Don't know if they're just having a bad night, but the egg fried rice was stodgy and flavourless, the lemon chicken had a nasty aftertaste and the prawn toast is a complete rip off - 1 slice of bread for £5 is daylight robbery!!! My wife threw her entire meal in the bin and ended up making herself a sandwich instead, it was that bad. Definitely won't be going here again, one to avoid!!!

Ordered from here once before and it was brilliant. Ordered again on a Friday night around 8.45 and the food never arrived. Really disappointing. No communication from the restaurant and cannot get in touch with them.

Had a lovely take away meal for the family.

First time me and my husband as visited this restaurant and we felt welcome from moment we walked through the door the lovely staff is friendly and the food is beautiful

Two of us visited this Chinese restaurant last night and left very satisfied. We both opted for the set meal which in my opinion was fantastic value for money. For a Monday night it was relatively busy so as a guess it would probably worth booking if I ever plan going during a weekend. All in all really happy with our tea and most certainly will be returning in the near future. 👌

This was an outstanding restaurant!! Service was Insanely good and so was the food.

food is always absolutely amazing & prompt delivery.

Food is absolutely amazing as are staff,we went to York for a few days and this place was recommended by locals and fantastic choice.food was cooked exactly the way my husband asked for as he likes his food really spicy.both starters and main meal was just so yummy.we live in Aberdeen but plan to visit York again and we 100% be back here

Absolutely the best Chinese we’ve ever had. Food was amazing, service brilliant, large portion sizes 10/10 from us on holiday from Manchester couldn’t find one fault, only we couldn’t eat it all. Thanks

I don’t know if we came on a day the usual chef was off or what but this was not good. The pork dumplings were more prawn than pork despite that not being mentioned on the menu. All sauces seems massively over seasoned - or dosed with industrial levels of MSG - either way we couldn’t finish any of the dishes which is not something we usually have to worry about. Can not recommend anything other than walking a bit further.

Overall is fine. The dish tastes pretty good, but the portion size is a bit too small.

Although quiet on a Saturday night they were unhurried and really helpful with a food intolerance. Really tasty from the soup to starters to large portions of mains. Attentive service but not crowded or rushed. Will be back again.

Came here for dinner with my friend and the food and service is 10/10

Food arrived early but not very good, crispy chicken was soggy, salt and pepper appetiser box was just a box of dry chips and animal bones with very little meat and the contents of whole box was just covered in just nasty seasoning dust

While the Chinese takeaway was edible, the chicken satay skewers were a letdown. The chicken was oddly square and uniformly cubed, with a coating that seemed straight out of a prepackaged meal. The texture was off, lacking the usual succulence and tenderness expected in satay skewers. Overall, a very disappointing experience for satay enthusiasts.

The food took very long to prepare which I didn’t mind thinking the food would come out amazing. But this is by far the worst Chinese food I have ever had. I absolutely love Chinese food but this food was terrible nothing good for me to write. I ordered the beef noodle chow mien and chicken rice chow mien. Absolutely disappointed.

Amazing food and friendly staff

tasty! The service is very good. To be honest, it is one of the better restaurants in the surrounding cities. The price is very reasonable! The Guobao Rou is the best I’ve had in the UK for 20 years! ! !

Lovely afternoon meal with Dim Sum dumplings. Fantastic belly of pork the best we have had outside China Town in London. The staff were very helpful and patient as my daughter struggled to find a vegetarian option for herself that she would like. My only comment would be there was not enough vegetarian options as our daughter found it difficult to choose but eventually opted for the beancurd and black bean which was delicious.

Excellent service and food. The hospitality is warm and efficient. Don't miss the sizzling dishes

sweet and sour chicken was banging , bit on the sweet and thick side. paired w crispy spring rolls and egg fried rice. amazing. arrived 3 min early than early estimated time.

Best Chinese restaurant in York. Always go here when in York. The food is spot on and the staff are friendly and efficient

Fantastic service from the staff and the food was really enjoyable. We loved the salt and pepper chips I would be happy to recommend!

It was good food and tasty, but not what I ordered. Ordered a salt and pepper box, got sent the shared starter. Not as substantial and had to get something else to eat.

Friendly service and delicious food

Very nice meal. Was not very hot. Rice was warm-ish

Service was just right and the food was amazing, so tasty and full of flavour.

It was ok, but nothing memorable.

Delicious and not expensive. My wife also loves it. The service is great! Come again next time! !

We visited one of our favourite Chinese restaurants in the centre of York, Shishang. We had a voucher to use which they kindly gave out for Chinese New Year so we thought we’d make use of it, we also celebrated George getting a well deserved promotion in his job and he wanted a bit of a feast and was craving Chinese so that’s one way we celebrated! This was delicious but we left feeling so stuffed! The sauces were so good and moreish, but quite rich and sickly towards the end, but overall it was a solid 8/10! We got: Aromatic duck & pancakes Sweet & sour Chicken Beef with green pepper in black bean sauce Salt and pepper chips 🌟 Soft noodles We went safe with our ordering options this time as we didn’t feel daring. We know these dishes are always top tier!

overall OK, not great. Dry, overcooked, and not great value for money. £4 for 3 very small spring rolls. I don't expect to have to put food in a microwave to bring it up to temperature.Probably won't use again

Lovely food! Such a good Chinese, fresh and not heavy at all.

We had a amazing time here, the food is to die for, the staff can’t do enough for you and nothing was a problem, I requested a dish that wasn’t on the menu and the chef cooked to suit, I’d definitely recommend this restaurant and will visit it when we are next in York.

Food, service it was very good . We will back again 👍

Lovely food great staff big portions definitely recommend

Absolutely lovely food. Had the Beef Brisket and the Chicken Chow Mein which were both delicious. There was a slight mix up and one of the dishes was accidentally missed, but the restaurant was quick to rectify the issue and sent out the food straight away. Great service, great food, highly recommend, best Chinese in York.

Food was great. Everything made well and food was the perfect temperature when I picked it up just 20 mins after ordering. 10/10 would highly recommend.

Very tasty food make and delivered rapidly for lunch. Very good.

Very average takeaway meal, very greasy, I would not use again, the king prawns in my foo Yung weren't cooked enough and it was not particularly tasty

The best vegetarian Chinese food i have ever had! The salt and pepper tofu was perfect. The portions are huge, i wish i lived closer as this would be my regular go to!

First Chinese we’ve had in York. Would highly recommend

Best Chinese restaurant in York I hardly write any reviews but Shi Shang is somewhere I started visiting after being blown away by their food in 2022. I bring all my friends and family here and they even insist on going back to Shi Shang for every occasion. After living in China for nearly a decade, Shi Shang is the only place that satisfies my cravings for authentic Chinese food. The dishes that I strongly recommend are as follows: Cumin Beef (孜然牛肉) is to die for! Diced string beans with mince pork (榄菜肉末四季豆) is great for mixing with rice. Stir fried wide rice noodles with beef (干炒牛河): a Cantonese classic. Stir fried beef with spring onions (葱爆牛肉): my child can finish this a whole plate with 3 bowls of rice. Sweet and sour lean pork (糖醋里脊): my new favourite. 10/10. Would recommend to anybody!

Called in without booking after trying to find somewhere to eat before an event at the Barbican and was found a table no problem, the sevice was friendly the food arrived quickly and was some of the best chinese we`ve ever eaten, we dont come to York often but if we ever do again we will be back here. Loved it, not too pricey either. Top marks from us!

The food was amazing and great value for money. Our server was amazing, so friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend! :-)

Had boxing day lunch with the family Very good

Food was what you would expect from a Chinese. Very tasty. Unfortunately, when the food was delivered it was missing one portion of egg fried rice.

Absolutely amazing Chinese- best service and food! Thank you

Char Sui in ok sauce is rich and delicious but not huge portions here. Tasty but suitable more for one. Singapore noodles plentiful, nice.

Delicious. Our first order from here but definitely not the last.

Wow. Food was great and left stuffed. My son had the prawns and ate them all. Wife had the sweet and sour pork and loved it. All food that came was great. If I lived here I would definitely order pick up weekly.

Exactly what you're looking for in takeaway Chinese. Food is tasty, well seasoned, and cooked with care. I picked up directly from them, the dine-in restaurant looked nice as well. The food was piping hot and the staff friendly. Would recommend!

Very friendly staff food very quick will be going again

Very nice 👌 we'll happy with this place 😀

The quality of meat was very poor and had a certain smell to it that I’m sure someone more knowledgeable would inform me indicated old or poor quality meat. They got my order wrong too…with meat in the veggie spring rolls. Staff seemed lovely but I won’t be returning. Recommend: The Mulan, but granted it’s not in the vicinity

It was alright not outstanding but definitely filled a hole

Food was very tasty and hot. Definitely will order again from there.

Food was quick hot and delicious

Enjoyed the range of Chinese food

Wrong order given. Unable to get replacement and also unable to deliver

Normally great - but this time all the 'crispy' items like the shredded OK chicken had obviously spent too long in the deep fryer and had a nasty burnt flavour rather than what you'd expect from this establishment.

Visited this restaurant for the 2nd time this year, after it came recommended in March. Again the food was excellent, as was the service. Would definitely recommend!

Turned up before advertised closing, was told not serving anymore, gutted…….

The crispy beef in OK sauce is sooooo GOOD!

恶心至极的餐厅，我在这个地方吃饭让我感觉非常不舒服，首先进门后中年女服务员就不说话，面无表情并且直勾勾的盯着我们，知道我说出三位，才很不情愿领我们到位置上，与对欧洲白种人的态度差别之大。我不能理解为什么中国人的桌上没有虾片，而非中国人桌上都有，更好笑的是一个自称不是该饭店熟人的男子坐到我们桌上说，非中国人不会点传统的中国菜，他们不敢吃，所以才上虾片给他们，并不是歧视中国人，并且说中国人不屑于吃虾片，所以才不上，我想说的是，万一有人喜欢吃虾片呢？难道还需要中国顾客求求服务员给一个虾片？根本没人在意虾片或者多喜欢虾片，只是需要平等对待而已。甚至这名男子还说我们受到态度不好的服务因为我们是学生，可是这名男子年纪看起来甚至还没有我大。所以一家中国餐厅赚着中国学生的钱，用着差劲的服务态度把学生当傻子，又当又立。祝您家饭店明天就倒闭！一群黄皮白心的香蕉人罢了

很不懂一个中国餐厅，为什么对欧洲面孔和亚洲面孔会有如此大的区别对待。刚进餐厅，前面几个欧洲面孔的顾客，服务员笑脸盈盈的接待，我们刚进去直接垮脸瞪着我们，也不说话，也不问我们几个人，一句话不说瞪着刚踏入餐厅的我们，甚至后面反应服务态度不太好，竟说因为我们是学生？请问：该餐厅名叫食尚，Chinese Restaurant，你们有弄清楚自己最大的顾客群体是什么吗？赚着约克学生的钱又说因为我们身份是学生所以就可以用差态度对我们？那约克学生别来吃饭了

Been going to same takeaway for 30 years , In york , this place was amazing, the food first class and the staff were so friendly, Couldn’t recommend enough Thanks for a wonderful evening

Food was great. Found my new regular takeaway.

What a amazing restaurant Food was amazing and staff helpful and friendly would definitely recommend eating here will be back soon

Returning visitor this time came for meal before show at the barbican, can not fault the staff or the food everything excellent, they were busy suggest booking a table had a little wait but the food was worth it

This is our regular go to Chinese takeaway but after today, it’s definitely not. Do not order the salt and pepper appetiser, all you get is a box full of seasoning and about 10 chips. Portions on everything else was also tiny compared to usual. Quality of food wasn’t that cracking either, overall disappointing.

Food is amazing!! Authentic cuisine reasonable prices friendly staff well worth a visit

Really lovely staff and fantastic food .will definitely be returning .There was a birthday party in at the same time .The staff went with musical instrument and a fountain candle to sing happy birthday .good prices too !

We arrived at the restaurant at 7.30 I had pre booked. We were greeted by a friendly member of staff who showed us to our table near the window. We always go to shi shang when we are in york. The food was amazing . I had the salt and pepper chicken and steak in cantonese sauce . Excellent service, Excellent food and the staff were really very friendly. We love this restaurant and my family and I will always come back when in york. Thanks again for a great meal.

Had two takeways from here and they were both absolutely delicious, best chinese had in years! Quick delivery too

Disgusting service DO NOT EAT OR ORDER HERE.STAFF ARE LAZY UNWILLING TO EXCEPT MY CALL BEFORE TAKEAWAY HAS ENDED FOOD YESTERDAY WHAD BAD PRAWNS WHICH MADE ME ILL ALL NIGHT.WHEN I COMPLAINED THEY HUNG UP AND WOULDN'T ANSWER MY CALLS.THE WORST INN YORK

泡椒鸡珍的配菜居然是洋葱，看起来是有泡椒的但没有泡椒的味道不说还勾芡了，麻辣鸭舌麻辣味都不够！第一口还好只是感觉到甜，吃到第二个的时候那腥味儿差点让我当场呕吐了，凉拌豆腐丝也平常，锅包肉应该是做的很正宗了，客观来讲川莱不是川菜味

Excellent food, great service. Thanks for a taste of home made chinese lemon tea which most of the chinese diners were having. Always a good sign when they are eating there. Thank You.

First time at this restaurant for me, my wife, daughter and her boyfriend. We had a wonderful evening. The staff were super friendly and attentive! The food was excellent (would definitely recommend the salt and pepper mushrooms) and at a very reasonable cost. We will definitely be returning to the Shi Shang on our next visit to York

Best Chinese meal I have tried in North East of England from Newcastle to Leeds ! We had yummy Prawn Crackers with complimentary Chilli / Sweet Chilli Sauces and 2 Shredded Beef in batter meals - what a scrumptious treat ! Also has really tasty Egg Fried Rice with delicious chips - everything had our taste buds exploding ! We came from Durham to York for a visit and looked at this place online and it looked excellent - Honestly, you will not be disappointed with the food quality ! The 2 Chinese Beers were lovely too. Another incredible positive thing about this restaurant is we found it be excellent value for money - you definitely won't be disappointed here - we saw numerous Chinese diners in the restaurant, which is a really good positive sign that the Chinese food is of Excellent Quality - Thank You to all the kind staff ! 🎎🎍🎊

We have ordered a few times and the food has always been lovely, although there has been items missing each time. Never had any problems when we called to say we have anything missing and was always sent over. Tonight the food was cold, missing more than a few items and not as tasty. Sorry but this was not worth the money

Picked up a takeaway and noticed the place was full of Chinese families all eating. I said to the waiter I'm expecting this to be brilliant due to who is eating here! Sadly although the chow mein was of good quality and plenty of it, it was SO SALTY we didn't enjoy it. Also we only got 5 very small spare ribs with very little meat on them. Disappointed.

Went to this restaurant in June and meant to write a review but just got round to it. After we saw it online and read a couple or so of reviews we booke a table for dinner and was not disappointed. From the food , drink and overall experience we could not fault it. When we had paid and left the waitress who had served us dashed out with my glasses case i had left at the table, a nice touch. Next visit to York we will go back .
